Over the past year, something simple has been quietly strengthening our youth community at Grangewood, a basketball hoop. Last summer at 3Generate, our young people took part in a challenge and ended up winning a hoop for the church. Since then, it’s become far more than just a game.

Jessica, our Church and Community Pioneer, has written a wonderful article for the Methodist Church about how this hoop has helped our young people grow in confidence, welcome their friends, and create a space where faith and fun naturally meet. It’s a story about mission, belonging, and the small things that make a big difference.
